Thick and syrup-y margarita mixes are the last thing we want in our glasses this summer, but many people who are unfamiliar with crafting tequila beverages default to these because they are unsure where else to start.

Imported from Cuba, one of the rum capitals of the Caribbean, it’s light, minty, and entirely refreshing. At celebrated Havana bars, mojitos are an essential part of the nightly proceedings. A straightforward mix of rum, muddled fresh mint, lime juice, and soda, they’re as easy to make as they are to drink. They’re also the perfect partner for any of our Cuban recipes .

This playful take on the classic cocktail has been popping up across the internet, and for good reason. Not only is it a fun way to enjoy a drink that's typically sipped (ideally over a long brunch), but the salty, crunchy, and slightly sour nature of pickles makes them a perfect match for the bloody mary's signature spice and savoriness.

Swiss cheese, a burger patty, sweet caramelized onions, and mustard tuck into rye bread before being griddled to perfection for this satisfying sandwich. The onions have a splash of acidity and depth thanks to the Worcestershire and apple cider vinegar, which helps balance the richness in the rest of the sandwich. Adding water as the onions caramelize provides a little steam to the cooking onions, and helps to scrape up the flavorful brown bits from the pan, both of which speed up the caramelizing process. Swiss cheese and rye bread are traditional in a patty melt but feel free to swap in whatever cheese and bread you have on hand for your own variation.

One of the first things you learn when you start studying wine is that some of the most famous wines in the world are named for regions, not the grapes they are made from.
